New promotion available to you

We launched this last week and the initial take up has been phenomenal!

It's not just about making sure you replace the grips on your clubs every year. Instead, we want you to have the correct sized grip and the right type of grip (tacky, chorded and so on) too.

This will only be running for a few more weeks so come and see us in the pro shop if interested.

Pro's news

Don’t keep guessing

With the market flooding with new products, I’m sure a few of you will be eyeing up that new driver or set of wedges for the upcoming season. By now most of you know the importance of being custom fit these days, with the state of the art technology available and the vast variety of shafts, weights, head shapes and so on, you cannot expect to walk in-store and take the stock driver off the shelf and it work for you. Those days are over.

If you are one of the very few people who have not been custom-fitted, it is imperative that before you buy that new driver or a new set of wedges/irons, you come for a fitting. You will be shocked by the difference you can see with a fitted club compared to a stock one. Put it this way, you wouldn’t walk into a shop and buy the first pair of shoes you see if they didn’t fit you would you? So why should buying golf clubs be any different?

Brooks puts his foot down

Despite not swinging a club over the weekend, world number two Brooks Koepka still made plenty of headlines when he called out Patrick Reed for cheating. During a fascinating live interview last week, he said: “I don't know what he was doing, building sandcastles in the sand, but you know where your club is.”

The incident relates to the Hero World Challenge when Reed was handed a two-stroke penalty for appearing to improve his lie in the bunker – an incident which Reed maintains was merely a mistake. Former TV analyst Peter Kostis waded in claiming he has seen Reed "improve his lie four times now’."

However, it seems to have motivated Reed who went on to silence his critics winning the WGC Mexico Championship by a single shot from Bryson DeChambeau. But with foul play in the headlines, we want to know whether you think there is a difference between breaking the rules and cheating?

Unbearable tension

Last week we revealed a remarkable statistic regarding the number of golfers playing grips that are over a year old, but what impact does that actually have on your game? Well, we decided to do some digging...

Tension whilst gripping

Grips are made from rubber and are prone to wear and tear, just like the tyres on your car. When they become worn, your grips will lose tackiness and your hands will start to slip during the swing, resulting in poorer shots.

The thing is, you’ll likely overcompensate by holding on to your clubs too tight, creating more tension and stiffness during the swing.

Limited time offer in-store now

We know it sounds all doom and gloom, but it does make a huge difference to your game. That's why we're running this promotion at Lytham Green Drive Golf Club, so you can experience the benefits of a new grip first hand.

There’s no catch, just pop by the shop before your next round to take advantage.
